Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice prompts same response from fans over snap

Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice has prompted the same response from fans with his latest Instagram post.

The winner of the BBC One dance contest has been enjoying a much-deserved break since the competition came to an end last month.

It's been a little over two weeks since Giovanni and his celebrity partner Rose Ayling-Ellis were crowned the winners of Strictly 2021 and lifted the coveted Glitterball trophy.

The dancing couple wowed the judges and viewers with their performances over 13 weeks and faced a closely fought final against John Whaite and Johannes Radebe.

But it was Rose and Giovanni who clinched the title as fans fell in love with their partnership.

And while they are already missing them being together, Strictly fans got another treat over the festive period.

Giovanni jetted off to Italy with fellow professional dancer, Kai Widdrington.

Kai made it to the Strictly final with partner AJ Odudu but the pair had to pull out at the eleventh hour due to AJ suffering a devastating injury.

While all the couples went their separate ways for the festive season before reuniting for Strictly's live tour next year, Kai and Giovanni extended their time together.

Last month Gio, 31, took to his Instagram with a video of the festive light displays in La Piazzetta, in Portofino on the Italian Riviera.

As he filmed showing the impressive Christmas tree and other twinkly lights, the camera panned to show Kai, 26, taking in the surrounding before smiling for the camera.

The pair have since taking to Instagram with other clips before ending their trip.

Bu as Giovanni took to Instagram with a snap of him posing in their own plush private plane, fans made the same comment.

"It's not personal…It's just business," he captioned the post of him staring out the aircraft's window while donning a green suit and gold jewelry.

@debbie.lee01 commented: "You and Kai going for a ‘who did it better’ pose off? Totally here for it."

"You and Kai twinning now," @softheartedsugg said.

@jonathanbranchett joked: "Looks like the plane@kaiwidd was smiling on are you using the buddy plane system?"

"Kai was in that seat earlier," @wonkylovecjw added.

Kai had got to Instagram with his own identical post, except he opted for an all-black suit for his journey back to the UK.

"Looking at 2022," he captioned the post to his thousands of followers.
